The Ultimate Shipwreck Guide Whitby to Berwick

Available for the first time in one volume! A unique and comprehensive guide that includes the precise position and characteristics of 285 wrecks between Whitby to Berwick - from fishing boats to submarines and steamers to warships - that were lost or sunk from the 1850s to the present day. No other single publication has so much information about the shipwrecks and crews that were lost over this huge region of the North Sea. The book is absolutely jam-packed with valuable information and technical data including the ship's builders, past owners, dates and name changes and in many cases the captains' names. Where possible, the ship's previous service history has been supplied, followed by a detailed account of its final voyage/patrol and its demise. Precise WGS84 GPS positions are supplied for each wreck and these have been meticulously checked over several years to ensure they are correct and as accurate as possible. It is a significant source of information for maritime researchers, historians and the diving fraternity and is Ron Young's best book to date.
